Pakistan’s Supreme Court today described as USinsufficient USresponses submitted by cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan to a contempt notice and directed him to file another reply by August 28.
A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry heard the case against the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf chief.
The apex court had issued a notice to Khan, asking him to explain why action should not be taken against him for contempt of court for making derogatory remarks about judges during a recent interaction with the media.
The bench said verbal and written replies submitted by Khan were insufficient. Khan initially delivered a brief verbal respose, saying his lawyer had returned from the US last night and was not prepared for the case.
